Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 562 The Wind Sweeps the Clouds (4)

"General, the Tang thief can't stand it anymore, and the last general requests to lead his troops to attack!"

As time went by, the Tubo infantry rushed to the top of the city again and again. Although they were all suppressed by the Tang army, the situation on the battlefield was undoubtedly evolving in a direction that was beneficial to the Tubo army. It is an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and the Tubo army with nearly [-] reserve troops in hand can completely crush the Tang army even if it is hard pressed. Unable to hold back any longer, this general came out from the sidelines and asked for a fight with great excitement.

"Well... the general has the heart, so I will do it myself. Give me 3000 troops, and I must take this city!"

Jiesong is Gar Qinling's close friend, and Gar Mucuolun really didn't want to see him make any mistakes, so he wanted to say no, but when he saw Jiesong's face full of longing, he refused. It was really hard to say it, after pondering for a while, finally agreed to his request.

"promise!"

Even though Jiesong has fought with Gar Qinling for many years, in fact, the chances to fight in person are pitifully rare, most of the time he just stays beside Gar Qinling as a guard. He was overjoyed by the opportunity to go to battle and make meritorious deeds. He hurriedly accepted the promise and went to mobilize troops, but before he could turn around, a sudden change happened!
"boom……"

Just when Jie Song's body turned halfway, the closed city gate suddenly opened, and there was a rush of horseshoes, and more than a thousand cavalrymen of the Tang army, led by Wang Bing, rushed out like a rainbow. , as soon as this situation happened, Jiesong was stunned on the spot——Wuhai City is a fortress-type city, and its gates are naturally very thick. The limit is reached, and it is impossible to create a siege weapon such as a rushing car, so I have no idea of ​​​​breaking open the city gate, and I have never sent more troops to watch the gate of the city, because the Tubo generals are basically I don't believe that the Tang army dared to attack the city, but it was such a small negligence that it almost brought disaster to the Tubo army who was attacking the city!

"Brothers, kill all the thieves, kill, kill!"

After being suppressed and beaten by the Tubo army for nearly an hour, Wang Bing's heart was already full of anger. How could he be polite when he galloped out of the city gate? With a wave of the horizontal knife in his hand, he roared Then he led his troops to launch a surprise attack, but saw a thousand Tang cavalry rushing into the chaotic army like a dragon sailing out of the sea. Rolling to the ground, corpses littered the ground wherever it passed.

It's messed up, completely messed up!It was completely unexpected that the Tang army would dare to rush out of the city. The Tubo army was busy rushing to the city at this moment. Whether it was infantry or cavalry, there was no formation at all. Even if they had the strength to resist, they were killed in an instant, and they all fled to the main formation in a chaotic manner, and the cavalry in the main formation could not rush at all because of their own chaotic soldiers blocking the way, and they were also worried. Tang Jun chased after the defeated army's buttocks and rushed to the main formation. He could only watch helplessly as Tang Jun made a big kill, and then swaggered back to the city.

"withdraw troops!"

Looking at the infantry and cavalry armies returning after a disastrous defeat, Gar Mu Cuolun gritted his teeth angrily, but it was getting late, and the morale of the army had been thwarted, and their vigor had faded. After the troops were withdrawn, they withdrew to three miles away from the city and set up a camp. A tragic offensive and defensive battle had come to an end temporarily. At the cost of more than [-] casualties, the Tang army achieved the result of annihilating nearly [-] enemies. They won once, but the difference in military strength between the two sides is still huge, and the danger of Wuhai City has not been alleviated... The sky finally dawned again. The mist in the morning was dispelled like a sharp arrow, and the grass leaves were covered with dewdrops, which reflected colorful rays of light in the sun, dazzling like jewels, embellishing the vast prairie with brilliance. This scenery is undoubtedly extremely beautiful, It's just that Gar Zanpo didn't have the heart to appreciate it. He stood alone in the open space outside the big tent, looking at the Luoying Ridge surrounded by clouds and fog, and his heart was full of bitterness.

Five days have passed since I was ordered to attack the mountain. It has already exceeded the three-day limit set by Gar Qinling, but Luoying Ridge is still firmly in the hands of Tang Jun. Instead, he participated in the attack. The Tubo army in Shanshan suffered heavy losses. In just five days, nearly 8000 people fell on the slope of Luoyingling. Gar Zanpo was unable to launch an attack. In the future, this is enough to bother him, but what he is more worried about is his brother's victory or defeat in the battle of Tianjun Mountain - the letter of plea for help has already been sent by Goshawk, but it has been two days. Oh my god, but he didn't receive a reply. Gar Zanpo couldn't help but feel a little doubtful about the outcome of the Tianjun Mountain battle. However, before the general order arrived, he couldn't just withdraw his troops here, so he could only stay here He was struggling, and every day he had to worry about how to ensure that the Tang army on the mountain would not rush down. As for attacking the mountain again, he had long since given up thinking about it.

"Report, General, there are frequent changes on Luoying Ridge, and the Tang bandits seem to have signs that the entire army is going down the mountain. Please show me, General!"

Things in this world are always afraid of something, and it will come if it is true. When Gar Zampo was worried, he saw a sentry rushing over, one knee on the ground, and reported loudly. One sentence.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Gar Tsangpo's eyes instantly turned sharp, and he glanced at the whistle, but didn't say much, but raised his head again, staring fixedly at the land where the fog hadn't completely disappeared. In Yingling's mind, however, he quickly made calculations.

"Handling, the whole army is assembled, prepare for battle!"

Gar Zanpo thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of the Tang army's massive downfall. But anyway, since he was responsible for annihilating this Tang army, this battle had to be fought. Gar Zanpo The mother-in-law was suspicious, but she could only bite the bullet and gave the order to prepare for the battle. Suddenly, amidst the sound of horns, the Tubo barracks, which was originally quite quiet, became busy. After a few moments, groups of Tubo soldiers began to step out. The gate of the camp formed a formation outside the camp, and slowly pushed towards Luoying Ridge three miles away. When they got close, they saw that the Tang army had already set up a battle formation on the plain below the mountain, so they stopped. Advance forward, but stopped at a distance of four hundred steps from Tang Jun, and confronted Tang Jun.

The total strength of the Tang army is not large, and there has been no increase in troops these days. Excluding the casualties, the first brigade has a total of just over [-] soldiers, divided into three rows and lined up in front of the formation. As for Li He's troops The remaining [-] members of the Hehuang army were on the two wings, led by Li He and Wang Yu respectively, while the Tubo army facing the Tang army had a total of more than [-] infantry and cavalry troops, of which Gar Zan Pozi commanded [-] cavalry as the central army, and the left wing was [-] cavalry and [-] infantry under the command of the mighty Solunzan; There were [-] cavalry and [-] infantry under Jieming Lusong's troops.

In terms of military strength, the Tubo army is almost seven times that of the Tang army. It seems that the soldiers are strong and powerful, but there are some problems with their spirit and spirit. The cavalry army is better. After all, the cavalry army has not participated in the cruel attack during this period During the Battle of the Mountains, we can see the tragic experience of our own infantry, and we can't help but feel sorry for them. As for the Tubo infantry, they were completely scared by the Tang army. The officers and soldiers of a brigade held needle guns in their hands, their legs and feet became weak involuntarily, and their complexions were naturally not much better. Gar Zampo saw all this, but he couldn't help it. Helpless, to be honest, even he himself was shocked by the heavy losses in the past few days, and he also had an indescribable sense of fear in his heart about fighting this strange Tang army. However, the situation forced him to fight. Forget it, seeing that the Tang army hadn't launched an offensive at this moment, he was happy to remain silent. Therefore, few soldiers of the Tang army were unwilling to attack first, and the Tubo army did not dare to attack first. There is a posture of playing a silent war.

"Old Xiao, looking at this posture, the Tubo thieves may not dare to attack. Well, the time is almost here, why don't you press forward?"

The battle is about to begin, not only the Tubo army is on full alert, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade are also a little nervous. After all, this is the first time the army's first brigade has fought in the field. Facing the Tubo army that is several times larger than itself, Not to be nervous, that would be a lie, even Xiao Sanlang, the chief general, could not help but grumble in his heart, but Liu Ziming looked at ease, looked up at the sky, and looked at the tense face again. Xiao Sanlang thought about his tone, and tentatively suggested.

"Alright, order the troops to move forward a hundred steps, and ask General Li to lead his troops to cover the rear of our army."

The first brigade took the initiative to go down the mountain this time because they had a special mission, so they couldn't continue to stand in such an endless stalemate with the Tubo army. Seeing that the Tubo army refused to attack first, Xiao Sanlang felt very helpless, but he was also worried that his own soldiers would not be enough. With the experience of such a frontal battle, it is inevitable that there will be some hesitation for a while. After pondering for a while, he finally made up his mind with a solemn face.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Although the officers and soldiers of the first brigade lack the experience of major battles, they are well-trained and strong troops after all. Once the general order is issued, they act extremely quickly. Suddenly there was a strong drum sound, and the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade rushed forward after hearing the drum, and marched towards the Tubo army formation with neat steps. There was quite a commotion in the Tubo army.
